Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
• 6 slices Bacon
• 2 cups Fresh spinach (loosely packed)
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 cup Shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
• 1 teaspoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimp the edges, and set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, let it cool slightly, and then crumble into small pieces.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, drain excess bacon fat, leaving about 1 teaspoon. Add butter and cook the spinach until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the bottom of the pie crust, followed by the cooked spinach. Then, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the spinach.

Step 7

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 9

Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
